The King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry Museum (in the Danum gallery in Doncaster) is going to be starting an art club for veterans and retired service members. It will be a chance to work with a professional artist to explore objects in the regimental museum and to try different kinds of art yourself.

It will be open to anyone who served in any branch of the armed forces, not just the KOYLI. If you’re interested, we want to hear from you. We’ve attached a short survey below, where you can tell us about any types of art you might be interested in, how often you’d like to get involved, and more.

You can access the survey here: King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry Project Veterans Club

If you’ve any questions about the project, please do get in touch at [email protected].
